i\'m stuck at this very basic form, that i could not accomplish, which i want to build a search form with an text input, and two select controls, with a route that accept 3
An alternative to msturdy's solution is using the request helper method available to you.
This works in exactly the same way, without the need to import the Input
namespace use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Input
at the top of your controller.
For example:
class SearchController extends BaseController {
public function search()
{
$category = request('category', 'default');
$term = request('term'); // no default defined
...
}
}
